  • Debrief and take-aways of RemoCamp and today's Tiger Team meeting
    • We had a 3 hour Tiger Team meeting this morning.  The bulk of it was focused on debriefing how the challenge sessions went at RemoCamp.  Mitchell further defined what she is looking for in these challenges: asynchronous activity, scale impact, specific time commitment/small chunks of work, high touch.  There is a RemoCamp challenges ether pad below and there will be a report back on challenges from Mark and Mitchell at the project call today.
    • The Tiger Team is interested in moving challenge content to the wiki.  Christie, could you help Kristin with this?  This wouls interested in moving challenge content to the wiki.  Christie, could you help Kristin with this?  The template form would be part of this, but they want more -- an overview of challenges, links to current challenges, etc.
    • There were other agenda items for the meeting today, but we didn't get to most of them because the debrief ran long.  There was a discussion around moving forward with the survey and data analysis research project and a discussion about how this should be the beginning on a long term research effort.  We started talking about a communications plan, but only had time to focus on what to share on the project call today.  We'll get into the rest of the communications plan at a following Tiger Team meeting next week.
    • The Reps are going to be using the challenge concept as a way to get things accomplished

  • [Carry-over from last week] Reorg affects on partnerships
    • Do recent reorgs affect our partnerships? how?
    • This may be difficult to understand and try to reconstruct what's happened in the past.
    • Triage as needed.
    • Engineering, User Research, etc.

  • [Carry-over from last week] Webdev community building around community tools? (need to talk about this as a group)
    • mozilians
    • badges and badge discovery
    • reps
    • mozmoderator
    • kitherder?
    • other?
      • get involved (there's a case for this to be a separate 
        • including the (current) ET backend which is used for both GI and the communities newsletter
    • in terms of who drives these projects, what is the line between systems & data and other areas of CBT?
    • Should we have a combined community tools team?
      • This has been frustrating
      • What approach can we take?
      • Forcing part of the conversation is the badges.mozilla.org (maybe)
      • The Wiki is a good example of how we've moved forward
      • What is the priority? What does the governance look like, etc?
      • How do we divide these things up into what we can do?
      • Make sure that we're spending energy on things that we can solve
      • Community Engagement and CBT should be working more closely together, probably
      • Tools is just one part of that algorithm
